Chapter 6: A past so deep…

Kimiko's POV

"Alright, that would be all today, don't forget about the joint-practice next week my daughters!"

"Haaaiiiii coach!" they said in chorus, reluctantly.

"Kimi-chan"

I approached coached to answer with a sigh, "Hai?" My brows were raised at his very obnoxious face. I knew that whatever my reaction would be, he'd still try to win my kindness with his ever so damn wide smile. T.T

"I'll leave things to you my little 'hana'." He sneered and gave us all a salute. Turning his back, he waved goodbye, "Ja-ne!"

I bowed to acknowledge him, "Wakarimasen!"

After practice, things went the same for me. "Typical Kimiko would barely go out with her 'friends' or have time for her own leisure. She'd think of an excuse to divert herself out of her social life and then bury herself at home in study…ALONE" Yes, I'd imagine them talk about me that way. It was as if, the term, 'team captain' meant 'major pain' to the others. Just ask Kunimitsu, he'd know what I mean.

Sigh…

That was the least of my concern anyways. In fact those were just petty things to me… But those things… I admit, made me…happy…my team…my school…my friends…my…uhm…'family'

"Dismissed!" I proclaimed. Which meant, 'Finally' to all of us. But hey, practice was a good thing for me; at least I loved what I was entitled to do. Unlike… some things…

"Buuuu--cchhhhhhhooouuuu!" Keiko's voice tingled my ears. "Hm?"

Saekee was the first to speak, "We were just wondering if you'd like to come with us for sushi?"

My face relaxed at her statement but… "Ah… sou… Domo, shikashi… I can't…"

Everyone's smile turned a hundred and eighty degrees.

"HEEEEH??" Keiko squealed loudly that I winced.

"That's too bad buchou, demo, Keiko, she'll come with us next time ne?"

Shiori had a knack to re-assure her best friend and make things light. Good for her, for as far as I know, anyways… I couldn't help still but feel guilty, especially for the freshmen in our group, Chiyo and Kyori, luckily, Saekee, knew exactly what to do.

"I know! Why don't we just bring you some treats tomorrow!" She winked, "Would that be alright?"

I nodded, "Un… sounds good."

"Yosh!" She grabbed a hold of the group and led them to the opposite direction, "We wouldn't want to keep our captain busy, sa, itekimasu!"

The very moment they turned their backs on me, so hesitantly, might I add, I gave slight grin to Sae. I was grateful that she understood me. She was the sole person who knew me, the closest. Even though she was just a sophomore and I a senior, nothing could make us as thick as thieves… Unfortunately for her… I was the thickest… I wasn't just a thief… I was… a messenger…of death.

A 'kunoichi', which translates into a female ninja, in English, was my given title in the tennis genre. Little did they know, that there's truth in that statement. Yes, indeed. You can just guess what I do to sustain my living.

I was a working student with pitch-black interests…

"See you tomorrow!" they waved at me, and I didn't respond, just a simple nod was what I gave them.

I was the last to leave the locker room. They've already left, and as captain it was my duty to monitor if things were in order in court, whether it is outside or inside.

Outside, at the school gate, I couldn't help but stop and let my mind linger at the scenery painted before me, "Itekimasu…" I half bent and turned my back on Seigaku.

"Good-bye home", I thought and now...off to… my 'pre-destined' self.


I was already on my way home.

I walk half way back to my house.

Crossing streets where such a blur to me, I practically memorized my steps and barely look at signs anymore, what catches most of my attention is the iniquity or vice that lingers in them.

Petty thieves, though I referred my self as one, any type of crook you could think of can be passed by without even letting you be aware of it. In fact half of the people I cross paths with are guilty for treason. A simple disguise or a face very unlikely for one, are my best bets. Even those qualified for 'juvy' are sighted… How do I know? Let's just say that if coach Valentine has his 'woman radar' I have one of my own, the only difference is, the function.

I've seen and been in the midst of such crazed persona's that's why, my expression, whenever I linger in the dangerous streets goes with out saying that it shows no fear. My attitude goes with my being captain but, it goes to say that with my sort of lifestyle the rule, "Survival of the fittest."


I finally reached today's meeting place, a tapestry store. There, I spotted my ride just a block away. A black Volvo, was parked where in my guardian was already inside waiting for me.

But what happened then you ask?

For starters...

My parents were killed in a cross fire between two mafias, namely, NERV which was the rival group of VOID, which my family then had just recent connections with. We were very wealth and powerful during the crossfire that, due to my Father coinciding with VOID, NERV sought out revenge and massacred most of my family, Mikage saved me, he raised me into what I am now… But I'd leave that story for another time since… A much more important matter should be discussed at the moment.

"We've been waiting for you number 14…" Miyoru's small voice caught my attention.

"I see…"

Miyoru, though only 14, was my assistant. She was an ordinary looking girl, with pinched cheeks and curly brunette hair, but a mighty ally when it comes to the under ground world, mind you.

"I assume that master Shinji is summoning me?" I asked, composed.

She gave me a sinister grin, "Mr. Mikage always expects you. After all, you are his 'daughter'" Funny, I thought, there's another idiot who calls me his 'daughter.'

She gestured for us to walk past the tapestry store and stead, head to the vehicle. "We sure are hasty today." I remarked.

"Sou da ne" She said in a musical tone.

"Why so?"

I kept on bugging her on our walk, I'm the type of person who hates suspense, and rather, I'd be the one to give it. She didn't give me a straight answer, but I didn't mind, I expected it from a child. Besides, what else could be new? Who could it be this time?

We finally arrived, the sound of the car door open and clang was my greeting, "Welcome back Kimiko."

My master greeted me, "Thank you, 'otosan'." I bowed to show respect to him as Miyoru slid to the front seat. "Is there something, you want to talk about?" I lowered my tone as I sensed his tension, "VOID matters?"

He just sighed and let me in, "Unfortunately, number fourteen will be needed in the next 'activity'."

We both got inside the Volvo to secure our privacy; I signaled the valet to drive and shifted attention to Mikage-san.

He continued, "It involves…" His eyes narrows and his brows met, "Wait…" I winced, "Can I ask you once again, how much of this are you willing to go through?"

My fists were clenched and resting on my lap, My brows weaved and I gave a chagrin, "As long as you need me…" I looked at him straight in the eyes, "My assistance is always available!"

He gave me a grin and laced his arms around me, "Thank you, my dear daughter…" As soon as he released me, he went on with business, "Alright, here's the gist of what we'll handle." He turned on his laptop and fixed the monitor at my direction, "See these? These are all case files on underground activity by NERV, they've been trying to hack into our mainframe by recruiting computer specialists and other companies are secretly being misled by bribes. They have been trying to bring VOID down to smokes. And what's worst; uncover your family's secret… "

I gritted teeth in anger, "They wouldn't dare…"

"Oh they would" Miyoru interrupted.

"But… why do I specifically need to do this assignment myself?"

He closed his eyes, "Well that's because… it involves… a friend of yours…"

Friends of mine?

Saekee? No, I checked… the others?? Sadaharu??

"Friend?" I croacked.

"Yes. It seems that, NERV has brought an asset to their side, a Japanese Business man, situated in France. Unfortunately they've been trying to use connections in the medical world to acquire that blue sapphire of yours."

They referred to the memento of my parents, the very last thing that was left of my family, "Greedy bastards!" I fiddled with the necklace and gripped it tight as if someone was already trying to tug it away from me, "But why?!"

"That…" He paused, "I cannot really say… But once that sapphire is stolen, then, we will all disintegrate and the Akiyama's will surely fall. And if ever that happens… we need you to…"

My expression change to pure anger, "I'll diminish them!" I hissed.

He hugged me once more, "Thank you… But, no matter what" He kissed my forehead. "Take care of yourself first. We cannot afford to lose you… You have a lot of things to stay here for… okay?"

He sounded concerned, I bought it, though I knew deep inside, it wasn't all true.

He told me that I had a lot of things to stay alive for… Even though I had a purpose and I had a different way of fulfilling it… At this moment… "Shinetakunai… I don't want to die yet…" I laced myself and prepared for what was up for me at home, battle plans, a briefing of my will be location… everything… and the best part was… by the time it will be finished… It would be morning by then and I'll be able to back to school.

I'll leave everything 'VOID' thing behind our isolated hacienda and then… just be my preferred self in Seigaku.

A normal stuck-up senior who has a lot to say, than a silent but dealy persona...


Morning finally came, and thank God for that.

"Buchou! Ohayou! Mitte mitte! We bought you your sweets!"

I couldn't be any happier to hear the loud voice of my kouhais and of course Keiko's. Can you believe it? They actually did it. What a bunch of thoughtful idiots.

"Ma, ma Keiko, let her breathe for a while ne?"

Saekee was always the mood settler in the mornings; of course it was just a cover up for the feelings that I had to rid of myself, which she knew. I'm glad that she'd already accepted the fact that her captain is a ruthless assassin and syndicate, while she was such a nice, intelligent and sure girl.

I deserved nothing… and yet… got everything…

She deserves more… but is given less…

How cruel…

But still, I'm glad that we share something that we can be proud of. Something that we both can be happy about.

"Kimiko-buchou, welcome back" Shiori gave me a grin.

I couldn't help but close my eyes and try to erase the fact that I might have to target her family… How could I ever go through with it, she's just new here and has such promise? All I could do was give an honest reply…

"Hai…domo… Tadaima…"

Yes… Right here, in Seishun Gakuen with everyone… Saekee and I were HOME with our FAMILY.
